In the course of my research, I stumbled upon "List of Dealers in Beekeeping Supplies, Package Bees, and Queens," USDA Circular E-297, revised Oct. 1950. In it, they list people that sell queens and include the choices as
Carniolan queens
Caucasian queens
Cyprian queens
Italian queens
Italian queens (3-banded or leather colored)
Italian queens (golden)
also, sellers of:
Bee Supplies
Combless packages
Orchard packages
Full colonies
Comb packages (nuclei)
Honey house equipment
Honey containers
What struck me as odd was the notion that people were selling "Cyprian queens" in 1950. The only one who claimed to have them was
Superior Honey Co., which had branches in several states at that time.
